In which I observe that Chris knows how he’s supposed to pay his rent.

Episode 679: The Not Happening
Two comments- in the one linked above, I say that Danny Horn doesn’t give David Henesy the credit he deserves, since he did his best work in the episodes “Dark Shadows Every Day” didn’t cover; in the second, I argue that the themes of Dark Shadows make it logical that child abuse should be a major focus of the show.
Episode 680: The Room
In which I realize what Joel Crothers was talking about when he explained why he left Dark Shadows.
Episode 683: The Very Last Ron Sproat Episode
I identify the most exciting moment in the episode.
Episode 686: The Case of the Lifted Ledger
In which I say something about denial as a theme in the show.
Episode 688: Mostly Charmless
In which I suspect that Kathryn Leigh Scott exploited an ambiguity in the script to make the episode more interesting.
Episode 690: Laugh Like a Man
Amy’s rendition of “Inchworm” leads me to think of other musical numbers on Dark Shadows.
Episode 694: The Surrender
In which I claim that the theme of child abuse running through this part of the show is especially powerful if you watch starting with episode 1.
Episode 705: Prisoners of Emily Post
Who told Edith the secret? There are interesting possibilities!
Episode 706: The Cliffhung
I enjoy the contrast between the haughty, paranoid Collinses who treat Barnabas so coldly in 1897 and their isolated, helpless descendants who clamored to welcome him to the estate in 1967.
